8.3. Sharing Record Buckets

Last Updated 10/29/2025


Make Record Buckets Viewable and Editable by Others

Record buckets may be shared with:

  • Individual staff users
  • All staff at a single branch
  • All staff in a system
  • The entire NC Cardinal Consortium

Shared buckets may be:

  • View Only: staff with whom the bucket is shared may view it but may not add or remove records or make any edits
  • Editable: staff with whom the bucket is shared may add and remove records. They may make edits to the records if they have Bibliographic Cataloging permissions.

Sharing Buckets with Individuals

  1. To add a user, navigate to either the Users with View Permissions or Users with Edit Permission tab. You will see a list of the current users with whom the bucket is shared.

    Current share members
  2. Select Add Users which will open a user search modal.

  3. Search for users and select one or several users with the checkbox.

  4. Use the Select button to add these users to your share list. You may only share buckets with staff users.

Transfer Bucket Ownership

You can transfer a bucket to another staff user. Administrators can transfer buckets for other users, even if the administrator doesn’t directly own the bucket.

  1. Select the buckets you want to transfer.
  2. Choose Transfer Bucket Ownership from the Actions menu.
  3. This opens a modal which will prompt you to enter a barcode, or search for a user, to transfer bucket ownership. 

Note: Depending on your permissions, once you transfer a bucket you may lose editing or viewing privileges for that bucket.
